Dear Alison

I have just opened your letter. You said you sent one before but it (1) have got lost in the post! The garage also delivered your little present. You (2) not have spent so much money on me. It's absolutely ridiculous. In fact, you (3) not have bothered as I already have a Porsche! I (4) possibly accept it and have asked them to return it to you. You (5) try to be reasonable, Alison. You (6) possibly be in love with me as you claim to be. You don't know me at all and (7) possibly have any idea what I'm like. If you got to know me, you (8) even find you didn't like me at all. I (9) be quite irritating sometimes, I promise you. I'm afraid I (10) ask you not to write to me again. This (11) seem harsh but that's the way it (12) be.

Regards

Rodney
